ARIA Technologies skills are applied in several domains such as industrial impact, risk assessment, renewable energies, or air quality. ARIA Technologies can assess the impact of urban projects on air quality, providing information on air quality in the region and assisting local authorities with urban and transportation planning. Air pollution modelling can demonstrate the impact of possible measures to improve air quality by reducing emissions.ARIA Technologies develops atmospheric modelling to fight against climate changes. It supports corporations and public institutions in their strategy for adaptation to the effects of climate change and for reducing their climate footprint (mitigation).

ARIA Technologies offers tools for monitoring at various moments during the setup of concrete measures: diagnosis tool, tool for simulation of scenarios of effects of these measures, continuous monitoring of the efficiency of measures put in place.

The expertise of ARIA Technologies relies on the complementarity of two strategies: the design and development of simulation software systems and the visualization of results on one hand, the conducting of studies and expertise services on the other hand. The activities relating to mitigation and adaptation to climate change have been developed since 2010 particularly, when ARIA Technologies joined the Climate-KIC at its foundation. They have been undertaken in response to the urgent need to take action in this regard. However, several activities are still in the demonstration stage and therefore pose scientific challenges, hence the strong connection of ARIA Technologies with the main Academics working in this area whether European (PIK, LSCE, ICL,TNO,.) or non European (NCAR) . Our team uses or sets up customized tools to tackle various problems faced by different stakeholders in their fight against climate change as well as for participating in the overall research effort to improve the understanding of climate change impacts
